Leap Day

It's the birthday of Freddie Garrity, the short lead singer of Freddie And The Dreamers. Maybe his dream was to be taller.

Freddie was known for his weird sense of humor and wild dancing.



His band didn't duplicate their British success in America, managing only one top ten hit, but it went all the way to the top in 1965. Here he is lip synching that single, being helped out by what looks like Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello.
